More pocketable than iPhone. Impressive interface.
Sure
The iPhone is good at consuming media and browsing the web
But what if you actually need to get stuff done? The Omnia has a large 3.2-inch touchscreen
Friendly ‘widget’ icons and easy messaging but scratch the cartoony surface and you&...

Windows Mobile 6.1
Doesn’t make full use of the touchscreen
Windows Mobile is a clunky operating system
Strange stylus
Average picture and sound quality
Strange stylus on a lanyard. Windows Mobile at its heart. Shutter lag on camera
Do we really need to tell you that the Omnia doesn’t look or handle like an Apple? The case is plastic
As is the resistive touchscreen – where haptic buzzing is no substitute for the iPhone’s gliding multi-touch. You’ll need the s...
Screen isnt great in sunlight
Stylus sometimes required
Flash isnt great
Video capture isnt to class
You cant add additional widgets to the TouchWiz interface
Abstract: Price $849Rating 4.5 Apples iPhone may happen to be more trendy than Fendi but in its wake weve seen a wave of competitors. The recipe isnt hard to replicate: take a large touchscreen display, add music and video playback, toss in a liberal das...
Abstract: SAMSUNG is making quite a fuss over its potential iPhone killer. Its based around Windows Mobile, meaning theres more functions and features, especially for business. But is it as easy to use? The answer is no. The iPhone is virtually idiot-pro...
Abstract: The new Omnia from Samsung claims to do it all. It comes with a great camera sensor, built-in GPS, DivX player, and various office tools to keep you connected. But is this smartphone just another jack of all trades, master of none phone? Click to enla...
Easily scratched and marked, stylus can’t be stored in the handset, speed could be improved, proprietary headphone/charging jack
The Omnia is Samsung’s attempt at pushing Windows Mobile as far into the background as possible, but it’s certainly not perfect. With more tweaking to the TouchWIZ interface and a bit more speed, this could potentially knock the iPhone off its...
Frustrating operating system, tiny on-screen keys, no 3.5 mm headphone jack
Samsung really has got it all in this device - programs, camera, GPS, home networking - but whats the point if its just so hard to use? If you really need all the office programs with push email and the like, Id strongly advise you to take the Omnia...
More tech than youll know what to do with, Great display, Excellent media codec recognition, DLNA networking
Windows Mobile makes it sluggish, Poor battery life, Only parts of the interface are finger-friendly, No 3.5mm input on handset
In terms of features, the Omnia stands out as one of the best smartphones to date. Its a shame this doesnt translate into a phone wed enjoy using from day to day. ...
Small Optical Trackpad, TouchWiz cant be configured, Small virtual touch keypad (portrait), Memory card slot not hot-swappable.
The Samsung Omnia sells for Rs.33,500 with a 1-year warranty. After seeing the price of the TouchWiz F480, a non Windows Mobile device from Samsung for under 20K, this pricing seems rather steep. The phone does have a lot to offer with regard to its f...
Camera is good and feature-rich, Reads popular video formats such as DivX and XviD, Plenty of storage space, Feature-rich with relevant apps
Audio player has low output, Custom keypad is much too large, Display is not too clear in sunlight, Battery life is poor with GPRS enabled, Handset gets hot with use
Business FeaturesSince the Omnia is a Windows Mobile device, it comes fully equipped to view all your attachments, from JPEG to MS Office docs, PDF files, and PowerPoint presentations. Configuring your email is a cinch, as the handset does it all for y...
